[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1799949, member: 3099"] I'm not trying to duplicate any particular load per se, but I am working on some 55gr loads for 3 gun. I'm currently trying BLC2, AA2230 and IMR 8208 XBR. The 2230 powder is beating the others on velocity at the moment. I'm still working on them but it's not looking good for the other two. Fastest to slowest so far is 2230, BLC2 followed very closely by IMR 8208. I'm really hoping to get the 8208 up over 3150, and it might get there, I'm right at 3000 now but I'm also getting close to book max, but it's supposed to be very temperature insensitive. All of them are good powders in .223. FYI I'm working with an 18" barrel. And as a general rule, ball powders work better with magnum primers. [/QUOTE]
